Saskatchewan RCMP say an arrest warrant has been issued for a convicted sex offender at the centre of an Amber Alert for two children.
Police say seven-year-old Luna Potts and eight-year-old Hunter Potts, along with their mother, are believed to be in South Dakota with 50-year-old Benjamin Martin Moore.
Moore now faces a charge of failing to report information within seven days of changing his address, which is required for convicted sex offenders. Officers went last week to their home in Eastend, southwest of Regina, to question Moore but found it abandoned. Bates did not say why police believe Moore crossed the border into the United States, but said RCMP were looking to extend the Amber Alert into South Dakota. Police also said Moore, the children and their mother may be travelling in a 2015 dark blue Chevrolet Equinox with the Alberta licence plate CGC 2492. Bates said officers have also been contacted by a person who is believed to be a victim and encouraged any others to come forward.
